Tacomio

I’m so happy that I work close to Gastown.  Not only do I get to look at the beautiful urban and renovated sprawl of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood, but I also get to eat some of the city’s best food.  One type of cuisine that’s been creeping into the hood has been Mexican food.  With joints such as La Taqueria, and Tacofino planting roots, tacos have presented themselves as a great lunch item for the busy worker.

Well there’s a new kid on this taco block, and its name is Tacomio!

Yet, what sets Tacomio apart from the competition?  Tacomio focusses on heavily stewed tacos.  So if you’re looking for a deep fried piece of fish on a taco, go down the block; but if you’re looking for deep flavours that have taken hours to be created, then you might wanna try out Tacomio’s selection.

For tacos, I had the carnitas, pollo con mole, tinga de pollo, and cochinta pibil.  They all had deep flavours, and almost reminded me of a Filipino-style stew (like caldereta) in taco form.

Additionally, I ordered some tortillas, chicharones, and guacamole.  The tortillas were super crispy and tasty; the chicharones were perfect, and were infused with vinegar, so one did not have to dip them; and the guacamole went well on everything (including the tacos).  For drinks, I had the “strawchata” (strawberry horchata), but that was also tasty!

Does Tacomio’s selection set them apart from the crowd?  Yes, their tacos are different, and warrant a try.  So, if you’re looking for something different Tacomio is a great choice!

Cheers,
